I want a pressure cooker..

I have a Cuisinart Electric Pressure cooker and love it. The pressure doesn't get as high as stovetop models, but it does everything I need it to.

I have the Wolfgang Puck one that was on QVC a while back! Works perfectly.

I just got a Secura electric pressure cooker from Amazon the other day. I used the slow cook feature and it worked well, although I wasn't sure if it ha different temperature settings like my regular crock pot does. Will have to experiment with that more before I get rid of the old one. Hopefully I like that feature since that is the main reason I chose it over the Cuisinart. I haven't used the pressure cook setting yet. It is a nice looking machine. I had a little trouble figuring out how to put the lid on but I think I have that figured out now.

The other day QVC had the Cuisinart on easy pay.

I looked at these some time ago but wasn't sure and didn't know anyone with one.  So I read this post and thought it sounded good so googled the pressure cooker with a view to ordering one - and found that now in the UK they are listed as currently unavailable with no details of whether, or if, more stock would become available and they have now completely disappeared off the Cuisinart UK site!! 

Should have made up my mind a lot quicker!!  

I have an 8qt Wolfgang Puck. Got it last fall, and I use it quite a bit. Right now I use it to cook rice, and corn on the cob. I have used it for amazing hard boiled eggs, a flan, soups and sauces, and I tried a pulled pork recipe as well!.

Electric, only way to go! Have one I bought from QVC...it's really heavy and that is my only complaint. Had a stove top one previously and do not miss the hissing and jiggle noise one bit!

Unless you want to dirty another pan on the stove, I would get one that does if you're looking at an electric one.

Mine is not electric and I do sear the outside of the meat loafs before I cook them. I used 1 lb of ground beef and my regular meatloaf recipe. Posted below.
I divined the meatloaf mix into two parts and I make them into squared off rectangles. Then, you can nicely brown each side. I put a little oil in the bottom, put to on the stove on high to sear/ brown.
Once done, I wipe out the bottom of the cooker pot, add 1 cup I beef broth I made with beef base, I use the insert pan / metal stand inside to keep the loaves out of the broth. Sit the loaves inside the insert pan, seal it up and 22 mins later we have awesome, moist meatloaf! Then, I add some flour and water to the leftover broth in the bottom to make gravy!

styxgirl's meatloaf

1lb ground beef
1 sleeve crushed crackers
1/2 tsp Lawrys season salt (I don't really measure this)
1/2 tsp Head Country season salt (don't measure this either)
1 tsp Italian seasoning (")
Chopped onion to taste
2 eggs
Ketchup - couple of squirts

Mix altogether and cook like above. (Put ketchup on top before cooking)

We eat this with mashed potatoes, corn and gravy.

I also have the Instant Pot and adore it.

The brown/saute function is a must-have IMO.

I read the description on a few. All stated they had the removable pot feature. Just read the features before buying online.

I have an old fashioned one that I rarely use. But every time I remember to use it I wonder why I don't use it more often because I love how fast everything cooks (esp dried beans and meat).
